Which is the model of your i5? You can use CPU-Z to check.

Option 1:
add 8GB DDR3 RAM (your RAM slots may hinder this upgrade) - RM260ish
Crucial MX500 500GB - RM486 from lelong

Option 2:
Core i5-8400 - 725
Gigabyte B360M-HD3 - 339
Crucial or Kingston 8GB DDR4-2400 X2 - 620
Crucial MX500 500GB - RM486 from lelong
Move your hard disk over
Corsair VS 450 - 159
Tecware Core mATX case - 89
Additional 12cm fan - 25

RM2443 total (C-Zone prices except the SSD)
